Graphic is AWESOME! But I don't need words to explain to me the joy of the muffin & what's going on. Besides if you were a nude muffin, would you proclaim "Nuuude" or maybe something more fitting like freee, horaaay, or wahooo... or perhaps nothing at all?

As humans, text is the first thing we divert our attention to in art. Images are secondary. Stop giving away the punch line before I get to the joke.

I'm tired of all these shirts with text that spell the funny out for us - to the designer: give yourself some credit, you didn't need the text

I'm right there with you on this one. I think the image is a pretty good one, but I definitely don't need the text on a shirt like this.

Bought one for my baker friend--she's going to love it.
And I think the text works with this tee. It isn't a big block of text; it's an image making a cute sing-song-y exclamation. I don't know, it just seems kind of mean to lecture (or snark at) a designer on how they should have done their work. I think it's perfectly adorable.

Disagree. The exclamation is what sells me. As if an anthropomorphic cupcake undressing isn't enough, it actually proclaims its nudity with unabashed glee. Makes me ponder the context of said cupcake's actions.

Well said. The art itself is great, but honestly I wouldn't have bought one if it wasn't for the text. It adds a lot more personality to an otherwise generically-adorable illo that I probably would not have spent my money on.

I just have to be the first to say:
"WHAT it's sold out!11!!!!! Walmazan will you sell me one?!??!! HOW CAN I GET ONE MY LIFE IS OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Back to reality ... bought mine this morning. I love the text, since it's part of the image. If it said something like "Nude Cupcake" under the image or anything it wouldn't have the same effect. Also, I love this color combo! The olive keeps it from being too girly or cutesy, and I like it with the pink. There's enough cute in the cupcake, I don't need a girly shirt color too.

I totally heart this shirt... so glad I got mine early this morning! I love cupcakes (um, duh right?) and this is one of the cutest and funniest cupcake shirts I've seen (or foodie shirts in general). Great work!
